The Bureau of Statistics is responsible for collecting intelligence, and the Bureau of Taxation is responsible for executing it.

In addition, statistical bureaus and tax bureaus must be established across the country.

Directly subordinate to the Ministry of Household Affairs and responsible to Zhang Haogu.

Under normal circumstances, the Ministry of Household Affairs is divided into 14 departments according to region: Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Hunan, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou.

However, for Zhang Haogu, fourteen is not enough.

If conditions permit, directly assign it to the village level.

If any grandson hides some land, dig it out for him as soon as possible.

Which grandson dares not to pay taxes? Arrest their whole family immediately. If they don’t pay taxes, they won’t be released!

Force them to pay taxes

There is no way the household department is too poor.

Everyone is asking for money from me.

To cut down the source and open up the flow, you can’t always ask for money from the Dog Emperor’s internal funds, right?

The household department must have control over the grassroots.

Whether it's Lu Xiangsheng or Sun Chuanting, it doesn't matter what they think.

Zhang Haogu's attitude is also very obvious.

You two must get along with me. I don’t care whether you have a good temper or not. Things must be settled for me.

The pie needs to be painted.

People are destined to die.

There is no way, there are too few people who can use it.

I don't care whether they are loyal or not, let him do his thing first.

After all, they were two of the most ruthless men in the late Ming Dynasty. They always had this ability, right?

And whether it was Lu Xiangsheng or Sun Chuanting, the attitudes they showed were really a little bit eager to try.

Although they have not yet reached the level of proficiency of the Chongzhen Dynasty, they have to make do with it as there is really no one under their command.

Even if you want to cultivate it, you can't cultivate it in a short time.

After taking some time, Zhang Haogu still met with Xu Guangqi.

Xu Guangqi is almost sixty years old this year.

Speaking of which, this guy also proposed to train troops.

He advocated that "the way to use troops depends entirely on selection and training" and "selection requires actual selection and training requires actual practice." However, due to financial constraints, constraints on ministers and other reasons, the military training plan did not go smoothly.

Xu Guangqi himself was also overworked and returned to Tianjin in March of the first year of Tianqi to "recuperate". In June, after the Liaodong Army was defeated, he was summoned to Beijing again, but in the end he resigned and returned to Tianjin because his plans for manufacturing weapons and training troops could not be fulfilled.

.

Now, this is the third time that Zhang Haogu has sneaked him back.

However, Zhang Haogu did not intend to let Xu Guangqi handle military training. He asked the old man to do calendaring, mathematics and farming.

In his notes on revising the calendar, the old man discussed in detail the application of mathematics in astronomy and calendars, water conservancy projects, music, weapons and military engineering, accounting and financial management, various construction projects, machinery manufacturing, geodesy, medicine, manufacturing clocks and lenses, etc.

Ten applications of timers.

It is also recommended to carry out specialized research in these areas.

The Household Department needs to be reformed, and the Work Department also needs to be reformed.

In part, the Daming Academy of Engineering was established to conduct specialized research, and at the same time, Western artillery manufacturing technology was introduced.

Other than that, it’s agriculture.

After all, one of his masterpieces is "Chongzhen Almanac" and the other is "Agricultural Policy Complete Book"

The key is that this old boy is still trying to grow rice in Tianjin. The bold and successful trial planting in the north can avoid various problems and expenses caused by long-distance transportation, which is of great significance.

In short, this old man cannot be tired, but he cannot be allowed to be idle. Let this old man be responsible for research and coordination, and he cannot be allowed to worry about too many things.

In addition, Zhang Haogu allocated 500,000 taels from the Ministry of Household Affairs to Xu Guangqi to do research.

Of course, five hundred thousand is the total amount. In the early stage, Zhang Haogu paid Xu Guangqi only five thousand taels.

First, let this old man gather people together and drive away all the guys who are messing around in the Ministry of Works.

The rest of the training, raising money, and new policies are all handled by yourself.

Ministry of Household Affairs, Statistics Department Yamen

This used to be an abandoned temple, but now it has been renovated.

There is still a pair of couplets hanging on the left and right sides of the ruined temple.

Please go elsewhere to get promoted and make a fortune. If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't come here!

The calligraphy is unique, sharp and sharp, with vivid strokes and strange postures, and it exudes a chilling atmosphere.

The lyrics were proposed by Zhang Haogu, and the couplets were written by Zhang Tuitu.

Of course there is no mention of calligraphy.

His calligraphy doesn't actually have a chilling air, but when combined with this weird ruined temple, it feels different.

There are still several corpses hanging around the ruined temple, floating in the wind.

This is a bureaucracy that is skinned and filled with grass.

The most important ones are Liu Changgeng and Chen Daoheng, who are in the second rank.

Many people couldn't help but swallow hard when they saw this.

And now this place has actually become the core department of the Statistics Department and the Taxation Department.

At this moment, the alternate officials were also recorded together,

Basically, the age of this group of people is no more than thirty-five years old. They belong to a very young group of people in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. Many of them have quite good scores in scientific examinations, but they just have no money and cannot get into the civil service.

Only then did he become an officer-in-waiting.

After Zhang Haogu carefully selected, a total of five hundred people stood here.

A group of alternate officials also looked at Zhang Haogu who was sitting on the chair with trepidation.

This man is a perfect eunuch.

Moreover, they had all seen the fate of the Donglin Party during this period. Zhang Haogu had been tormented to death, and now they had found themselves in this ruined temple. They could see these mummies floating in the wind.

It's floating, I feel like my heart is going crazy.

If it wasn't for a future, who the hell would be willing to come to this hellish place.

Click to end

Zhang Haogu then slowly said: "Everyone, I have called you here today. I think everyone knows the reason. Our emperor is wise and has enacted new laws to be supplemented immediately. He specially asked me to set up the Statistics Department Yamen to let

If you fill it in, everyone must know the purpose, but I still have to say it again!"

"The immediate remedy is to strictly investigate corruption, whether officials in various places are corrupt, and whether management at all levels is suspected of laziness or neglect of government. If found, we will select candidates from among you to fill them!"

A group of alternate officials also looked at each other, and there was a bit of joy in each other's eyes.

Whether he is corrupt or not, whether he is corrupt or not after taking office is another matter. The problem now is that he has not taken office yet.

First try every means to get to the top and then talk about it.

"Quiet!"

Zhang Haogu made a sound.

Everyone suddenly became quiet, and Zhang Haogu said: "Since you don't have much experience, what the emperor means is that you need to be trained!"

"May I ask how Zhang Butang will be trained?" one of the candidate officials said cautiously.

"The current policy of the imperial court is to return corruption to the public. You need to know what Huoyu is and what Bing Jing and Tan Jing are. Then, you need to understand the methods of local corruption. In this way, when you go to investigate, you will naturally

It will fall into place!"

Many people had puzzled expressions on their faces.

Does this require understanding?

Who the hell doesn’t know this?

As reserve corrupt officials, how could they not know?

Doesn’t this Zhang Haogu, who claims to be the emperor’s number one favorite, look good?

"In addition, the Holy One has decreed that Yongding County be established to provide compensation for refugees."

Zhang Haogu said slowly: "My lords, how about you work hard during this period and go to Yongding County to care for the refugees? How about sharing your worries for the Holy One and caring for the refugees at the same time?"

"Your Majesty!" someone shouted.

"The Emperor's Holy Ming!"

Afterwards, more than 500 people all made the same sound.

Zhang Haogu waved his hand and said: "Masters, training is very hard, and supporting refugees is also very hard. If you can't bear the hardship, quit quickly. It's still too late!"

"I am not afraid of hard work. How can it be said that it is hard work to share the emperor's worries?" Someone said loudly.

"That's right!" Someone else said: "Zhang Butang, the emperor is a wise man, I am willing to die in a mess!"

"good!"

Zhang Haogu nodded, smiled and said, "Here comes someone!"

Lu Xiangsheng came out with the scribe.

Then, I heard Zhang Haogu said calmly: "Prepare some pen and ink for all your lords. Since you want to serve the emperor, you can't just talk about it. Everyone writes a military order. Don't be afraid of hardship or fatigue. You must serve us."
